Dream On 05:04
Dream On Into a cold night, on a wet day You stumble along this winter road But you don’t care because you get there And all of the lights are still switched on And so you don’t dream about your nightmares All of the things you thought were right Well they’re wrong You’re just blind, you can’t see. And so you go on with a blank stare Weather the dark into the sky Into a big place where you can feel free The type of place that you call home And in that big space you can call me All of the things I thought were good But were wrong They were wrong, I can see Cover your eyes from the sun and dream on Before the moment just slips away Because you can end up in a bad place, in the wrong space Take the wrong turn Then you don’t know just how you got there All the beliefs become undone And then you think ‘Right, I’m gonna do this’ Everything you know could be wrong You’re not blind, you can see Just not easily Cover your eyes from the sun and dream on Before the moment just slips away Trouble will find you my son so dream on Before the moment just slips…… But you don’t know me I am everything you’re not And you don’t owe me I am the man that time forgot But you don’t own me All these things are said and done You don’t know me. Not at all You were blind, now you see Just not easily Because of me Cover your eyes From the sun and dream on Before the moment just slips away Trouble will find you my son so dream on Before the moment just slips away Before the moment just slips away Before the moment just slips………

Long Forgotten Tango I offer up to you a blue forgotten tango A melody I call my own It’s a melody of love for the night that we first met So I give it all away I open up my hands and to you I pass this tango In a currency I hope you know I remember all the steps and all of my regrets Because I threw it all away Do you remember when we danced. In the rain, In the rain In a perfect line we danced as one in the burning autumn leaves How we danced, danced, danced And now there’s only you and that blue forgotten tango Which seems so long ago But I remember every step and now I’m all alone And no-one, no-one will know Thoughts remain the same in the dance we call the tango The blame, we can call our own But I waited here for you believing it was true Until you threw it all away Do you remember when we danced. In the rain, in the rain In the perfect line we danced as one in burning autumn leaves Do you remember when we danced? In the rain, in the rain In the perfect line we danced as one in the burning autumn leaves How we danced, danced, danced How we danced, danced, danced Do you remember when we danced. In the rain, in the rain In the perfect line we danced as one in the burning autumn leaves Do you remember when we danced. In the rain, in the rain The perfect picture, water colours, all got washed away How we danced, danced, danced How we danced, danced, danced

Your Troublesome Friend Your troublesome friend just called round again Leaving foundless rumours behind her I can’t understand why your troublesome friend Just beats up the meaning of you All out problems descend from your troublesome friend Who creates friendly fire Can we not put an end to your troublesome friend Maybe then we can pull through And I gave you love and much more A roof and a licence to roam We were on course for destiny A look or a touch is probably too much for me And I gave you love and much more A roof and a licence to roam On course for destiny A look or a touch…… Is probably too much, for me Your troublesome friend just called round again Leaving dreams in chaos with marshmallow friends I can’t comprehend that you don’t see it’s true Your troublesome friend is you

Wherever You Are I want to be wherever you are Wherever the road may lead I’ll follow you Just give me a sign to wherever you are Wherever the stars align then I’ll be there Because the nights don’t feel the same And the sky is closed again Sometimes I don’t know your name But if you stay with me, lay with me So give me a sign to wherever you are I’ll follow the path and then I’ll meet with you Cause I want to be wherever you are Ever the road is long I’ll follow you Because the nights don’t seem the same And the sky is closed again And sometimes I don’t know your name But if you stay with me, lay with me Because the nights don’t seem the same And the sky is closed again And sometimes I don’t know your name But you could stay with me, lay with me So give me a sign to wherever you are, wherever you are

I Wouldn’t Ever Do That You ask me how I feel. Given time my hurt will heal My hurt will heal, I’m sure that I have never really been here On my own with no place to go Now I’m left here all alone, tell me that I really shouldn’t be here But I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that No I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t Cause I would just stop And as the pain subsides I feel my spirit rise It was to my surprise I never ever really thought that you would compromise On my own, no place to go Talk about the danger zones, I really never ever want to be there No I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that No I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that No I, I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that No I, I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that It’s sloppy seconds and you call it love I would complain but I just can’t get enough And then you ask me what I’m thinking of I run it past you but you just can’t get enough Ask me how I feel, I can’t tell you till I’m healed I look at danger signs, I have to learn to live on my own On my own, with no place to go, Now I’m left here all alone, you tell me I shouldn’t really be here No I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that No I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that No I, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that No I, yeah, I wouldn’t ever do that, I wouldn’t ever do that It’s sloppy seconds and you call it love I would complain but I just can’t get enough And then you ask me what I’m thinking of I run it past you but you just can’t get enough

Stayed Too Long Of all the things that you’ve said I have done Some must be right, they all can’t be wrong Then you ask me when it all came undone Maybe I stayed too long, I stayed too long I stayed too long We had our summer and our time in the sun But then winter kicked in and things become undone It’s easy to recover when you’re young But I stayed too long and everything was gone I stayed too long Millions of people covet my soul But you’re not one of them Why I’ll never know So I fell, fell, fell Like a good time or a break in a song You can stay too long, you can stay…. Don’t believe that everything comes with a money back guarantee It’s 50% you and 50% me The guy who told you believe all the you read? Go and tell him, that love is all you need. I stayed too long So, please don’t ask me to stay and be strong Cause I stayed too long and everything had gone

Feel Better 03:49
Feel Better You say you’re sorry, what did you say Something about me gets in your way Should I feel better about that Then you tell me when I’m not there You feel much better, can I feel care And should I feel better about that Then the night comes and what did you say Something about you gets in your way Should I feel better about that Then you mess me up and I’m done Everything about you makes me feel small Should I feel better about that Then the night comes and what did you say Something about you gets in your way Can I feel better about that Then you mess me up and I’m done Should I feel something or feel numb Should I feel better about that Then the night comes and what did you say Something about you gets in my way And I feel better about that I say sorry but what did I mean Our lives are tidy but nothing is clean I can’t feel better about that About that Should I feel better about that About that

Hidden By Boats Hidden by boats, when the rain comes in Looking for a friend, whose alone Hidden by boats, waiting for a change To his crazy pain, take him home And here I am, calling in I’m your long lost friend, you’re not alone And here I am, hold my hand We’re on solid ground, again Hidden by boats, as the evening falls Hear the sirens call, hear the waves crashing in Hidden by boats, trying to recall, how I watched you fall Growing colder again And here I am, calling in I’m your long lost friend, you’re not alone And here I am, hold my hand We’re on solid ground, again And here I am, calling in I’m your long lost friend, you’re not alone And here I am, hold my hand We’re on solid ground, again

Lightning Bolts And all this talk of having you around Has knocked me right off course and to the edge of the map But take a minute to gather these thoughts alone I love your lightning I love your lightning bolts And hope is a big word, here’s something to hold it in And hope is a big word, here’s something to hold it in I love your lightning I love your lightning I love your lightning bolts And hope is a big word, here’s something to hold it in And hope is a big word, here’s something to hold it in I love your lightning I love your lightning I love your lightning Bolts
